Lux Row

Distillery Bottlings

Whilst the UK spirits sector continues to grow at a pace, it is US whiskey (particularly bourbon) which is expected to expand the fastest, with estimates of an increase in sales of 26.7% over the next five years. Whether the EU’s stiff 25% tariff, implemented in June 2017 in response to Trump’s taxes of steel and aluminium imports (now, now children) dampens demand remains to be seen, but producers and distributors for the most part seem bullish about the prospects for the UK market. So much so, that Lux Row Distillers, who recently opened their new distillery in Bardstown Kentucky are releasing a new bourbon outside of their home market in the form of Rebel Yell French Barrel Special Finish.
